Ottawa Senators fans were quick to voice their displeasure with the United States on Saturday after U.S. president Donald Trump announced his plan to impose tariffs on Canadian goods.

We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

    Nah, that’s a shit take. If you didn’t vote, you’re at least okay with the prospect of another Trump presidency, or you didn’t care enough to vote against him. You’re complicit either way.

      I don’t know - in some parts of America, getting out and voting is made more difficult. On purpose.

      We all saw that voting by mail can work during Covid. The qons want to claw that back.

      Hard disagree. Those who didn’t vote said exactly what they stood for. Dems had the power, and completely ignored it and didn’t get voted in as a result.

      If you’re blaming non-voters you’re just causing unnecessary division amongst the left. The US has been fascist for a long time. And everything happening has been a long time coming. Trump is a symptom, not the cause.
